Superb performances from the Clubs Cadets over the weekend of 4th/5th October resulted in 3 qualifiers for the Cadet Nationals being held at the end Of November way up north in Preston! Chamika Weerasinghe and Ruth Marsden both won their respective events unbeaten and Nicola Dawson finished 3rd in the cadet girls resulting in qualification. Top 4 in each event get automatic qualification. George Sainsbury narrowly missed out, but nevertheless had some very good results. Well played all, and the very best of luck next month in the main event.

Will Bayley returned this week to his old club, to share his latest medal haul including his gold from the 2014 World Championship, with some of our younger (and older!) players. Will's hard work, dedication and success continues to be a real source of inspiration to all our members.
